Footnotes

FIRST EDITION, with two parts: British India and the Punjab; Kashmir and the Alpine Punjab. Hardinge was present in India in 1845 when the Sikh army crossed the Sutlej and invaded British territory. He served as private secretary to his father, Sir Henry Hardinge, first Viscount of Lahore, who was Governor-General of India at the time.

"Hardinge was brought up among artistic influences, and was himself no mean painter in watercolours. In 1847 his friends in England published a folio volume entitled Recollections of India, consisting of twenty lithographs from his drawings made in India, particularly interesting for its portraits of Sikh chieftains [including Duleep Singh, Rajah Lal Singh, and Gulab Singh] and views of scenery in Kashmir, then an almost unknown country, which he visited in company with John Nicholson" (ODNB).

Provenance: Sir Henry Dermot Daly (1821–1895), army officer in the East India Company, and by family descent to present owner.
